Question

identify if the following is
linear
quadratic
expontial
inverse variation

x y
1 12
2 6
3 4
4 3

Answer 1

linear means line highest power of the independent variable is 1
quadratic the highest power of the independent variable is 2 graph the shape of a parabola
inverse variation as on variable increases the other decreases such that the product of the 2 variables is constant
exponential function such that the output is increasing very rapidly it varies by a constant raised to the power of the independent variable
